Your cars are ugly, your drivers too
goodbye BMW
Reading between the lines, they're a) not getting the results they "should" get, which makes them look bad to the consumer market and b) they're skint and want to shore up wherever possible. Using the excuse of "current developments in motor sport" is just marketing bullflaps IMO
I seem to remember BMW suggesting they were going to be world Champions in 3 years, to a chorus from the other teams of "Not if we have anything to do with it..."
Toyota next...

If winning races promotes your brand and increases sales, then loosing conceivably has the opposite effect.
We didn't really have many manufacturers around 15 years ago, only the odd one or two, not really bothered as the cost saving measures let the little guys in anyway.
Quote from BMW's MD - "We're very disappointed about our inability to succeed in F1. In keeping with BMW brand values we had expected to just hoon up behind the other drivers, flash our headlights and be let through. Didn't they realise we were in a BMW so must have been considerably faster than them?"

That's why Audi are so good at Le Mans. Headlights. Now MOOVE!
...A4 driver...
I think it's gonna be a meeting to discus whether the F1 rules allow an BMW X5 to race, as per thepurists highly amusing comment. Then they'll just bully their way into 1st.
Stumpy - Needs to be the X6 I reckon.
Naaah. An old 3 series with lowered suspension, tinted windows and big bore exhaust. That would do it.
cost them LOADS to pull out so who is going to buy them out some ex german world champ maybe?

Peter Sauber may be able to take it back at a knock down price?
